REZONING — 525 BLAKE ROAD
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 12-77, approving
Ordinance 12-1055, rezoning the property north of 525 Blake Road and the east 20 feet of
525 Blake Road from B-3 to B-4 and from B-4 to B-3, respectively, for second reading.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Mr. Kuznia moved and Mr. Datta seconded a motion to
adopt Resolution RZ12-15, recommending approval of Ordinance 12-1055, rezoning the
property north of 525 Blake Road and the east 20 feet of 525 Blake Road from B-3 to B-4

Overview
Hopkins Blake Detail, LLC, is proposing to redevelop the former BP gas station site located
at 525 Blake Road into a retail building. It is proposed that the existing building will be
razed and two buildings will be constructed. The new development will also include two lots
to the north. One lot is owned by the apartments to the east and the second owned by
MnDOT. The development also has a small area in St. Louis Park.
The buildings as proposed will have approximately 12,000 square feet of retail. Access to
the new buildings will be from Cambridge Street and a new access will be from Division
Street in St. Louis Park.
The former BP site is zoned B-4, but the two parcels to the north that will be replatted with
this property are zoned B-3; these will be rezoned to B-4. The east 20 feet of 525 Blake will
be rezoned from be rezoned from B-4 to B-3.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the Comprehensive Plan designation?
• What is the existing zoning of the subject site?
• What does the B-4 zoning allow?
• Should the site be rezoned from B-3 to B-4?
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?

Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the Comprehensive Plan designation?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Commercial.
• What is the existing zoning of the subject site?
525 Blake Road is zoned B-4, Neighborhood Business. The MnDOT property and the area
owned by 1301 Cambridge is zoned B-3, General Business.
• What does the B-4 zoning district allow?
The B-4 zoning district allows retail and restaurants. These are the uses proposed by the
applicant. Any use that the applicant proposes must meet the allowed uses in the B-4 zoning
district.
• Should the site be rezoned from B-3 to B-4 and B-4 to B-3?
525 Blake Road is currently zoned B-4, and the rezoning of the MnDOT site and part of 1301
Cambridge to B-4 will make the whole site except for 20 feet to the east B-4. 1301
Cambridge currently is a triangle area to the north of 525 Blake Road and is zoned B-3. The
owner of 1301 Cambridge will retain a small a portion of the property and he wants it to
remain B-3. The east 20 feet of 525 Blake Road will be rezoned to B-3.
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the rezoning for the site. No one appeared at the public hearing
regarding this item.
Alternatives
1. Approve the rezoning. By approving the rezoning, the property will be rezoned as
proposed.
2. Deny the rezoning. By denying the rezoning, the applicant will not be able to rezone the
property as proposed. If the City Council considers this alternative, findings will have to
be identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
